Build forest tourism infrastructure and create a community co-management mechanism for ecotourism.

Provide training to enhance the skills of forest farm staff and local communities.

The project improved reforestation methods, applying mixed-species approaches to 667 ha of clear-cut land. It also applied the close-to-nature forest management (CNFM) concept through implementing thinning, enrichment planting, and natural regeneration techniques across various forest types, transforming monoculture plantations into diverse, multi-aged forests that enhance biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecological resilience.

The project also emphasized ecotourism and education. It established a forest therapy and experience trail, featuring themed areas on biodiversity, reforestation, and forest therapy, allowing visitors to engage with nature using all five senses. Tourism infrastructure, such as forest cabins and scenic bridges, was developed to enhance recreational experiences.

The APFNet Multifunctional Forest Experience and Training Center was established as a regional hub for knowledge exchange, providing training and hosting international workshops on sustainable forest management. By integrating ecological restoration, community engagement, and economic diversification, the project provided a replicable model for sustainable forestry in the Asia-Pacific region.
